I played around with my best friend's recipe for chicken salad until I had one that was perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers. This salad is light and refreshing...the perfect antidote for heavy holiday eating. Plus, it's easy to prepare. âKristy Dills, Flintsonte, Georgia Ingredients:
1 snack-size cup (4 ounces) mandarin oranges |
1 package (10 ounces) ready-to-serve salad greens |
4 cups shredded cooked turkey |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup chopped red onion |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
dash salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Drain oranges, reserving syrup. In a large bowl, combine the oranges, salad greens, turkey, blue cheese, almonds, cranberries, celery and onion.
2. In a small bowl, whisk remaining ingredients and reserved syrup. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 servings.
